Standfast——来自北欧的瑞典组合，由女主唱Suzanne Mosson和男团员Patrick Tucker组成。Suzanne嗓音甜美神似Texas女主唱Sharleen Spiteri、可人模样恰若珊卓布拉克的Suzanne Mosson这样解释Standfast团名的意义：“这个团名就像是我们的座右铭，要为自己的音乐、为自己的信仰坚持到底”。这个意义深远的团名，不但是男团员Patrick Tucker的姓氏，也是他们首张专辑的名称。
Suzanne大多是主唱/合音以及创作，而Patrick则负责乐器以及制作方面。在发表自己作品前，Patrick也写了多首热门歌曲如98度的《Because Of You》 和罗南的《Only For You》。他们在97年相遇了，两个对音乐抱着执着心态的人就这样结合起来主成了现在的Standfast。
Standfast成军的过程非常有趣。1997年，Suzanne与Patrick在瑞典首都斯德哥尔摩相识，彼此认为可以组成搭档试试运气。“我们在某个地下室租了一间完全密闭的练团室。那个地方充满了年轻的音乐创作人，日夜不停地在写歌、录试听带。”他们两人之前则在他们所租的完全密闭的地下排练室中窝了整整将近一年的时间。他们决定将他们花心血写出的歌曲整理后向唱片公司自荐，但是又不想让自己的DEMO被淹没在唱片公司如雪花般的试听带中，所以他们决定直接唱给EMI唱片公司听。
两个人相处的模式十分自然，融洽，就像他们的音乐一样，飘荡着北欧特有的浪漫气息，一种冷凝、致腻的银白色浪漫。
燕子第一听他们的歌是《Carcrashes》（中文版的是许茹芸唱的《 他们的故事》)，洁净却涵蕴丰沛情感的吉他旋律，简单且充满现代质感的电气节奏。很好听的说，偶现在空间里的背音就有它，呵呵。
no longer
for a long time,
i've had nothing to say
for a long time
i have prayed
for a new beginning,
a road to lead me home to you
you see we're not throngh
they say the grass is greener on the other side
and i admit that i have tried,
simply to replace you,
i've been so far out of line
denying this love of mine
no longer am i restless
no longer do i feel ashamed
it seems like i'm in love again
(it seems like i'm in love)
(i'm in love yeah)
yeah so here i am with my sore head in my hands
hoping for a second chance
again, i believe in you my dear
my sun and sky and rain
my laughter and my pain
no longer am i restless
no longer do i feel ashamed
it seems like i'm in love again
no longer am i restless
no longer do i feel ashamed
it seems like i'm in love again
fridens they sigh,
but i do believe that i never lied
no longer am i restless
no longer do i feel ashamed
it seems like i'm in love again
no longer am i restless
no longer do i feel ashamed
it seems like i'm in love again
(it seems like i'm in love)
